Sparks ...


Proverbs 4:18 

18 But the path of the just is like the shining sun,
That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

 

Sparks

 

Constant thunder in the air ... it seems in a distance.

I guess a simple drizzle ... is soaking my little yard.

No lightning I have seen yet ... just a constant rumble

reminds me of the Christian life ... where no sparks are.

 

Kept in a little heart ... not hungering to share it.

Simple candlelight ... hidden from the world

Still, the rain is soaking ... in the complete darkness

to provide a way of life ... when daylight takes its turn.

 

I could have been part of it ... a spark in the darkness

The storm is getting closer and now some light appears.

Maybe that is our greatest need to have storms that surround us

so that the sparks fly off of us ... for everyone to see.
